Interests: Linux, Fountain Pens, Rugby, Selfhosting, and a bit of boardgaming, rpgs, and Nintendo switch gaming.
Laptop and Workstation run Fedora. Servers run Proxmox.
Can’t say that there is anything new and exciting. Big change for me has been that I have accepted flatpacks. I’ve gotten to the point where I don’t care about being a purist, don’t care about customizing and theming everything. I just want to use my computer.
There were some good pieces on Groklaw back in the day about the history of unix and Linux.
If that is the case, then you should be very happy to leave Linux for a proprietary OS that Nvidia works on and properly supports.
Odd, I don’t see it.
Great stuff! How about WindowMaker?
A good start would be to implement quarter tiling by dragging window to screen corner, like half tiling is done by dragging to screen edge.
I have a 3840x2160 monitor specifically so that I can have four windows open at the best size for their content (email, document, web browse, and terminal) and can avoid the use of workspaces and see everything at once. Having to manually resize and place windows is a pain.
Beautiful, brilliant bot!
Funny, I seriously considered getting one over the past year, but the past couple of months I’ve been reading all kinds of complaints about them. Seems there is a problem with consistent quality.
And if you’re replacing one, you could possibly pull the ram and SSD from it to use in the frame work.
Mine in in the mail. Got the shipping notification last night. So excited! I didn’t the past year saving up for it. I’m glad to see that everything works out of the box with Fedora.
Yeah, I’ve been running Fedora since the first Fedora Core release. Only ever had an issue once, back on FC4 but was easily fixed. My current laptop is 8 years old and is solid. Only issue is rotating it causes airplane mode to turn on, so I don’t rotate it.
I’ll have to give this a spin! I miss motif, so much cleaner than modern GUIs, at least in my eyes.
I finally gave in and use default Gnome shell now just because I can’t be bothered to configure the menus in WindowMaker any more. 20 years ago I had time to play and configure things, now, not so much.
“Motif Window Manager”? I’m on mobile and have old eyes, but it looks like WindowMaker. If so, great choice! If not, I’ll have to look closer when I get home.
Same. I’ve been using Fedora since the beginning. Before that I used ReHat. It has taken me a while to get comfortable with Flatpak, but find myself liking. Next logical step is Silverblue.
Fedora. I’ve been using it since Fedora Core 1 and was mostly RedHat before that. I don’t have time to muck around with my desktop and Fedora almost always just works. I’ve had too many problems with Ubuntu and Suse and friends. And while I like Arch and Debian and others, I just want my desktop to be point and click. My days off tinkering on my desktop are long gone. Kids, house, work, wife, grandkids, other hobbies keep me busy. I save tinkering for my selfhosting adventures.
